The father of the endothermic gas generator was a gentleman by the name of Norbert K. Koebel, who was fond of saying to young engineers such as The Doctor, “Treat ‘em right, and they’ll treat you right.” He knew that the endothermic gas generator was the heart of any atmosphere heat-treat operation.

Heat treatment is an energy user and all too often an energy abuser. Given the significant amounts of energy needed to run a typical process, this translates into a huge cost to the heat treater.

O tratador térmico deve se surpreender ao descobrir que para compreender como os processos de tratamento térmico criam uma microestrutura em particular e as propriedades mecânicas correspondentes, é necessário ter um conhecimento básico tanto de termodinâmica quanto de cinética (nesse caso envolvendo transformações de fase em estado sólido como função da temperatura e da composição).
